Referring to FIG. 2, the display apparatus may include a backlight unit BLU, a liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT, and a photoluminescence substrate PL and a third polarizer POL3.

The backlight unit BLU may be disposed under the liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT to provide light to the liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT. More particularly, the backlight unit BLU may include a light source generating blue light, a red color conversion material and green color conversion material. The red color conversion material may be red quantum dot particles and/or red phosphor. The green color conversion material may be green quantum dot particles and/or green phosphor. Here, the red color conversion material and/or red phosphor in the backlight unit BLU may be only about 5 to 25 wt % of a total weight of the red quantum dot particles and/or red phosphor used in a comparative example for emitting white light from the backlight unit BLU. In addition, the green color conversion material and/or green phosphor may contain only about 5 to 25 wt % of an amount of the green quantum dot particles and/or green phosphor used in the comparative example for emitting white light from the backlight unit BLU. If amounts of the green color conversion material and the red color conversion material are defined as 100 wt % each when the backlight unit BLU, in the comparative example, includes the green color conversion material and the red color conversion material to emit white light, amounts of the green color conversion material and the red color conversion material of the present example embodiment is about 5 to 25 wt % compared to the comparative example.

Thus, the backlight unit BLU may include the light source emitting the blue light, and only a small amount of the red color conversion material and/or red phosphor and the green color conversion material and/or green phosphor. Accordingly, the backlight unit BLU may provide sky blue light to the liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT.

Here, the light source emitting the blue light may have a maximum peak wavelength of 455 nm (nanometer) or less. For example, the light source may be a blue LED having a maximum peak wavelength of 450 nm.

The liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT may include a liquid crystal panel 100 including a liquid crystal layer and a thin film transistor, a first polarizer POL1 and a second polarizer POL2.

The liquid crystal layer may include liquid crystal molecules having optical anisotropy. The liquid crystal molecules are driven by electric field, so that an image is displayed by passing or blocking light through the liquid crystal layer.

The first polarizer POL1 may be disposed between the liquid crystal pane 100 and the backlight unit BLU. The first polarizer POL1 may be an absorbing type polarizing plate such as a general polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing plate or a reflection type polarizing plate such as a wire grid polarizer.

The second polarizer POL2 may be disposed between the liquid crystal panel 100 and the photoluminescence substrate PL. The second polarizer POL2 may be an absorbing type polarizing plate such as a general polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing plate or a reflection type polarizing plate such as a wire grid polarizer. A polarizing axis of the second polarizer POL2 may be perpendicular to a polarizing axis of the first polarizer POL1.

The photoluminescence substrate PL may include a second base substrate 210, a black matrix BM, a first color filter RCF, a second color filter GCF, a first color conversion pattern R, a second color conversion pattern G, a third color conversion pattern B and a scattering layer 220.

The second base substrate 210 may include a transparent insulation substrate. For example, the second base substrate 210 may include a glass substrate, a quartz substrate, a transparent resin substrate, etc. Examples of the transparent resin substrate for the second base substrate 210 may include polyimide-based resin, acryl-based resin, polyacrylate-based resin, polycarbonate-based resin, polyether-based resin, sulfonic acid containing resin, polyethyleneterephthalate-based resin, etc.

The black matrix BM may be disposed on the second base substrate 210. The black matrix BM may include a light blocking material. For example, the black matrix BM may include an organic material that absorbs light. The black matrix BM may be disposed between the first, second, and third pixel areas SP1, SP2, and SP3 to divide each of the pixel areas. In some example embodiment, the black matrix BM may include a metal that blocks light.

The first color filter RCF may be disposed on the second base substrate 210 in the first pixel area SP1. The first color filter RCF may be a red color filter. The first color filter RCF may pass only a wavelength band corresponding to red light of the light passing through the first color filter RCF.

The second color filter GCF may be disposed on the second base substrate 210 in the second pixel area SP2. The second color filter GCF may be a green color filter. The second color filter GCF may pass only a wavelength band corresponding to green light of the light passing through the second color filter GCF.

The first color conversion pattern R may be disposed on the first color filter RCF to overlap the first pixel area SP1. The first color conversion pattern R may be a red color conversion pattern. The first color conversion pattern R may convert the blue light provided from the backlight unit BLU into red light. For example, the first color conversion pattern R may include red quantum dot particles and/or red phosphor. Here, the backlight unit BLU includes about 5 to 25 wt % of the red quantum dot particles and/or red phosphor, so that the first color conversion pattern R may include the remainder of about 75 to 95 wt % of the red quantum dot particles and/or the red phosphors.

The second color conversion pattern G may be disposed on the second color filter GCF to overlap the second pixel area SP2. The second color conversion pattern G may be a green color conversion pattern. The second color conversion pattern G may convert the blue light provided from the backlight unit BLU into green light. For example, the second color conversion pattern G may include green quantum dot particles and/or green phosphor. the backlight unit BLU. Here, the backlight unit BLU includes about 5 to 25 wt % of the green quantum dot particles and/or green phosphor, so that the second color conversion pattern G may include the remainder of about 75 to 95 wt % of the green quantum dot particles and/or the green phosphors.

The red or green quantum dot may be a material that has a nanoscale structure and may include several hundred to several thousand atoms. Since the quantum dot is very small in size, a quantum confinement effect may occur. The quantum confinement effect may indicate that an energy band gap of an object is increased when the object becomes smaller than nano size. When the light having energy higher than that of the band gap is incident to the quantum dot, the quantum dot may absorb the light and may emit a second light having a specific wavelength and an energy level in the ground state. The wavelength of the emitted second light may have a value corresponding to the band gap. When a size and a composition of the quantum dot are adjusted, the emission property of the quantum dot may be controlled by the quantum confinement.

The composition of the quantum dots is not limited to a specific composition, and any suitable composition may be used. For example, the quantum dot may be a quantum dot of Group II-VI elements, Group III-V elements, Group IV elements, or Group IV-VI elements. The Group II elements may be selected from the group consisting of at least one of zinc, cadmium, and mercury. The Group III elements may be selected from the group consisting of at least one of aluminum, gallium, and indium. The Group IV elements may be selected from the group consisting of at least one of silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. The Group V elements may be selected from the group consisting of at least one of nitrogen, phosphorus, and arsenic. The Group VI elements may be selected from the group consisting of at least one of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium.

The third color conversion pattern B may be disposed on the second base substrate 210 to overlap the third pixel area SP3. The third color conversion pattern B may include scattering particles that change traveling direction of light passing therethrough without changing color. The scattering particles may be particles of TiO2 or the like. Here, the third color conversion pattern B may include blue pigment for converting light passing therethrough to blue light, and size of the scattering particle may be similar to size of the red quantum dot particle or the green quantum dot particle. In addition, the third color conversion pattern B may further include a blue pigment for converting light passing therethrough to blue light. In some example embodiments, the third color conversion pattern B may include blue quantum dot particles and/or blue phosphor similarly to the first and second color conversion patterns R and G.

The scattering layer 220 may be disposed on the first to third color conversion patterns R, G and B. The scattering layer 220 may be disposed corresponding to entire of the first to third pixel areas SP1 to SP3. The scattering layer 220 may include scattering particles that change traveling direction of light passing therethrough without changing color. The scattering particles may be particles of TiO2 or the like. In some example embodiment, a planarization layer including an insulating material and including a flat upper surface may be disposed instead of the scattering layer 220.

The third polarizer POL3 may be disposed on the photoluminescence substrate PL. Thus, the photoluminescence substrate PL may be disposed between the third polarizer POL3 and the liquid crystal TFT substrate LCTFT. The third polarizer POL3 may be a traditional leaner polarizer. For example, the third polarizer POL3 may be an absorbing type polarizing plate such as a general polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polarizing plate. A polarizing axis of the third polarizer POL3 may be the same as the polarizing axis of the second polarizer POL2. When the polarizing axis of the third polarizer POL3 and the polarizing axis of the second polarizer POL2 are the same, the light passing through the second polarizer POL2 passes through the third polarizer POL3 and the transmittance can be maximized.

According to the present embodiment, since the display apparatus does not include a ¼ wave polarizer to reduce reflection of external light, transmittance may be improved, the structure may be simple, and the manufacturing cost may be reduced. In addition, the transmittance may be improved and the reflection of external light may be prevented by the second polarizer POL2 and the third polarizer POL3 which have the same polarizing axis, and by the black matrix BM absorbing light, compare to the conventional ¼ polarizer.

In addition, the scattering layer is formed under the first and second color conversion patterns R and G, so that light efficiency may be increased.

In addition, a blue light emitting diode (LED) having a maximum peak wavelength of 455 nm or less may be used as the light source of the backlight unit BLU. A blue LED with a maximum peak wavelength of 450 nm, which is relatively inexpensive, can be used. Thus, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, since the luminescence efficiency for a short wavelength of a quantum dot is higher than the luminescence efficiency for a long wavelength, the luminous efficiency of the first and second color conversion patterns R and G can be improved as the maximum peak wavelength of the light source is lower that of the conventional light source.

Although the pixel electrodes of the display apparatus are formed on the lower substrate and the common electrodes are formed on the upper substrate in this embodiment, the structure of the display apparatus is not limited thereto. For example, the common electrode and the pixel electrode may be formed on the lower substrate or have different shapes depending on the mode of the liquid crystal TFT substrate of the display apparatus.

And then, the non-polarized green light passes through the third polarizing element POL3 and may be finally emitted as polarized green light.

FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view illustrating color conversion of the display apparatus of FIG. 2 in a third pixel area.

Referring to FIGS. 3C and 2, the display apparatus may emit blue light in the third pixel area SP3. Light generated in the backlight unit BLU may include a blue component BLUE, a small amount of green component GREEN, and a small amount of red component RED.

And then, the non-polarized blue light passes through the third polarizing element POL3 and may be finally emitted as polarized blue light.

Although the third color conversion pattern B and the scattering layer 220 are formed as separate layers in the present example embodiment, since the third color conversion pattern B and the scattering layer 220 include the same material, it is also possible to form one layer through one process in another example embodiment.
